Most iOS apps need a social chat feature built in their user interface. If you’re building a social network or functionality that requires chatting (such as customer service, for instance), skip the overhead of implementing everything from scratch and just reuse our free Swift chat implementation. By using Google’s Firebase Cloud Firestore to store and retrieve all the messages, you’re also saving a lot of work that needs to be done on your own servers. An insane amount of work! Plus, it comes with bulletproof security, provided by Google itself. Huge shout out to MessageKit contributors, who made this easier for us!
